I see two problems: 1) this weakness was obvious in the summer and they didn't address it; 2) the people that get to decide where to spend the transfer dollars have contributed to the current lack of scoring and there is little evidence they would recognize a difference maker in their price range.

If we would have got kudus. He would have made a massive difference in my opinion so if we can find someone similar in January I will be happy.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Let's see what happens on Saturday before we start losing our minds. Horking up the three points in a six-pointer would be very bad. A draw, by contrast, is not a disaster.

We have to earn more points than three teams. Right now, those look like Bournemouth, Forest and Wolves, with Southampton in the mix. None of them can score either, and they're all a lot leakier. The rest of the bottom half is very bunched up - not abject, but not particularly good.

1) Jelavic
2) Lukaku

Jelavic?

 

[knowing your history]

Southampton sacked their manager, interested who they line up. Probably another coach from abroad.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Jelavic?

Signed him on deadline day in the January, his goals helped us to a top half finish and a cup semi final. Went to pot in subsequent seasons like but it was a positive attacking signing at the time

Every team underneath us bar forest have sacked their manager.

Take into account emery will improve Villa no end as well.

It does make you think why Villa can go and get emery and our shortlist last January was so dire.

 

[Marius57]

1) Jelavic
2) Lukaku

We got lukaku when we were a half decent, top half team. And now every striker we have gets compared to him because he was an excellent finisher. We aren't signing a striker of his ilk again for a very very long time, because teams struggling where we are, don't sign 20+ goal a season strikers, hell, bottom half teams rarely have 15 goal a season striker unless they direct all of their play to get them to score.

 

[tommytowne]

Curiosity got the better of me and for the first time this season had a peep at the table.
Typical of us, from potentially being on the coat tails of the top six, we find ourselves two points above the drop zone with our next game against the club immediately beneath us.
Lose that and rejoice in us probably being in the bottom three all over the break for the world Cup. Not what I wanted for Christmas that's for sure.

Hope they get Rafael

 

[mikel_88]

Was just a bad game on sat most of the team was out of form, not saying we will be alit of points away from the drop . But stand by that if the club bring in the right sort of players will help us alot just lack of attqckers is killing the team

 

[Runub]

Hope they get Rafael

That’s a long commute from the Wirral

 

[BlueStevie35]

Hope they get Rafael

They haven’t officially sacked him yet, supposedly trying to decide if to do it this week or wait till during the break

 

[everton1953]

Frozen Frank is similar to Rafael who showed little reaction from the sideline.

 

[Mathieubleucoyb]

We should be after Pochettino or Martinez.
We actually had an attack with Martinez an exciting one.

 

[hocane]

Everton isn't getting relegated.
There are far worse teams.
I think Bournemouth and Fulham will eventually drop off.
